Piano Lessons

Piano Lesson Information

Have you or your kids been playing around on an old piano and you aren’t sure if piano is something you want to pursue?

Do you love the sound of the piano and want to be able to make it your own?

Are you a dedicated musician who wants to get better but isn’t sure how?

Learning piano is scientifically proven to increase cognition in many areas of the brain that have to do with coordination, decision making, and problem solving. It also gives you a step up in learning other instruments. We are sure we have a teacher who can help you reach your goals. Our piano teachers are relatable, flexible, and highly educated professionals dedicated to nurturing our students passion to make music while honing their skills to make them well rounded musicians that are passionate, skillful, and diligent learners.

We come from a variety of backgrounds and have a vast array of experience to draw upon. We teach everything: classical, jazz, contemporary, improvisation, theory, church music. Lesson are individually tailored to each student to meet their needs, interests, and learning style. We structure our lessons in such a way that kids have structured learning goals from the latest method books and supplement every lesson with comprehensive theory and songs picked by the students themselves.

Overall we seek to foster meaningful relationships with our students. Making music is a personal experience for everyone and we want our students to feel safe sharing their creativity and passion with us while we share our knowledge and passion with them. We love to see our students come in to lessons eagerly, and leave smiling.
